A third-grader has been suspended from a Fort Lauderdale elementary school after he showed off an unloaded automatic handgun in class.
Broward County School District spokesman Keith Bromery says it’s not clear where the 9-year-old got the .380-caliber gun. He’d shown it to classmates on Tuesday and someone told school administrators. Police were notified.
The boy could be expelled and sent to an alternative school.
